So here's more about day 3.
Chunky Monkey: Today they sat us down and showed just the BEST video! It was so well made and I could tell the girls really loved being a part of Chunky Monkey. It really changed my attitude. It was philanthropy day, so we made cards. If I say any more about the craft, it will give away the philanthropy which would give away the chapter. This philanthropy did a lot for a friend of mine in elementary school, so I liked having a personal connection instead of just donating to some worthy but personally irrelevant cause.
Sidenote: I had done a little Wikipedia research beforehand and felt really strongly about Creme Brulee's philanthropy. That's another reason I had been so sure it was meant to be!
Neapolitan Dynamite: Again, I had to trek up a completely unreasonable hill. (I later found out there was an easier way to get to this house, but it wasn't convenient for the busses, grrr.) And again, the president said "Hi, I'm Chocolate. I'd like you to meet my sister Vanilla." Actually, Vanilla is a great name for this girl! She was very shy and we spent a lot of time in awkward silence. She pointed out that an advantage of being part of a smaller chapter is that you get to know everyone very well. She said she could sit down next to anyone at dinner and feel totally comfortable--no one was a stranger. That helped me see them in a better light. Honestly, ND was just BAD at recruitment compared to everyone else. But they seemed to really like me and that felt great after such a serious blow to my ego.
So I did my rankings, and it took all of about 30 seconds.
1. Chunky Monkey
2. Neapolitan Dynamite
I went home, half expecting to get a call telling me I'd been dropped from recruitment altogether. I may not have been 100% sold on either house, but I was 200% sold on going greek. I didn't get much sleep that night.
